Designed For You by Trapping Professionals

Designed and field-tested by trapping professionals, the Havahart® X-Small 1-Door Live Animal Trap is built to ensure a quick, safe trapping experience, every time. Thanks to its careful construction, it can be used as a flying squirrel trap, weasel trap, chipmunk trap or virtually any small rodent trap, because these tiny animals can't outsmart it. The trip plate is sensitive enough that even the lightest animals can effectively trigger the door closed, and the mesh openings are smaller than competing traps, so little critters cannot steal the bait.

Simple to Operate

You don't have to be a pro to use this Havahart® extra small trap. Its design allows trappers of all experience levels to capture and transport flying squirrels, weasels and other rodents with ease.

And it's the only trap with a guillotine-style door, which can be lifted from the top, avoiding contact with the animal.

Safe for You and the Animal

A live cage trap is a humane tool for eliminating small rodents from your home or yard, and Havahart® makes the process safe for you and the animal.

For You: A solid door and handle guard protect you from contact with a trapped animal, and the carrying handle allows you to hold the trap away from your body while an animal is inside.

For the Animal: A strong door lock keeps the animal safely inside, while smooth, rolled internal trap edges prevent injuries to animals as they are being transported, or as they struggle to escape.

Havahart® Traps are Built to Last

Havahart® builds the strongest, most durable traps with premium materials, intended to endure harsh weather and unpredictable animal behavior. Traps are constructed of industrial-strength, one-piece wire mesh, which is galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. A solid doors and steel reinforcements add to the durability of the trap, ensuring an even longer trap life.

I just caught an enormous full size rat in this trap, that would not go into any other trap! After a year of trying, I'm so happy. The rat is relocated, not close to people, and out of here at last!

I used peanut butter on the back of the bait tray, with pineapple stuck on top. (the peanut butter acts as the glue to hold it on.) You can use apple or granola bar stuck to the peanut butter, as well.

I will always shop with Havahart from now on, because they have great products and excellent customer service. They are people who care!

This trap has been flawless. Trapped 11 Chipmunks so far without any problem. Peanut butter & shelled sunflower seeds for bait. There probably could be just a bit more space behind the trip pan for the bait so the animals couldn't reach the bait from outside the trap.

The bait should be placed in a way that requires the animal to fully enter the trap and step on the trigger plate in order to reach it. For this model, it’s best to place the bait directly beyond the trip plate, toward the back wall of the trap. For more baiting tips, click here.

Q.What is the benefit of a 1-door trap versus a 2-door trap?

A.

If used as directed, 1-door traps and 2-door traps are equally effective. Whether you purchase a 1 or 2-door trap is a matter of preference. Some trappers prefer to use 1-door traps because they are easier to bait; since the back end is closed, you can place the bait beyond the trigger plate ensuring that the animal walks further into the trap before reaching it. Others prefer to use 2-door traps, as an animal might be more confident in entering the cage if it can see through to the other side.Regardless of your preference, Havahart® offers both one-door and two-door traps to satisfy all consumers.

Q.How can I test my trap to make sure that it works properly?

A.

Start by setting your trap. Using a pen or another object (not your finger), carefully touch the trip plate from either end, applying just a bit of pressure. The door should quickly snap closed.
